Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this kit for my first time installing my own car system. I've learned much and can safely conclude that this kit is relatively inferior and low quality, but it's perfect for beginners installing a subwoofer amplifier.
The only major gripe I have about the kit is that the RCA cable that came with the kit is utter crap and had to be replaced. It picked up noise from an unknown source. This wire was run along side a Rockford Fosgate RCA cable. The RF cable did not have any noise whatsoever and upon replacing the DB Link (DB Research) cable, the noise disappeared.
The fuse holder and fuse/fuse type really do suck, but again, it works. The fuse holder functions, but there is room for improvement, such as making it water proof and not simply a fuse tent. The fuse they include with the kit (if I recall correctly) is either a 100 amp or 150 amp ANL fuse. Which is fine for high powered applications such as monoblock subwoofer amplifiers, but if you're going to run a multi-channel amplifier like me, it's best to get a lower amp fuse/fuse holder and swap it in. A rule of thumb I learned was that AGU fuses were for low to medium power while ANL were for high power.
As for the crimping, yes, the alloys used are a bit harder than the norm, but nothing I couldn't hand crimp myself with a proper crimping tool (that you can get for ~$40 average from any brick and motor hardware store probably even less online). Oops, I made it seem like it was easy. No, it was a bit strenous for me, but I didn't have to hammer anything.
The speaker wires seem okay, and are roughly 18 AWG (compared to the 16 AWG I bought at Wal-mart anyways). 18 AWG is plenty for regular speakers and the bigger sizes like 14 and 12 should only be used for high power subwoofers.
